Il a cru les preuves. Il a cru les mensonges. Il m'a transpercé le cœur d'argent sans hésiter. Maintenant, je suis de retour, piégée dans le visage d'une étrangère, et son loup reconnaît ce que son esprit refuse d'accepter : **je suis toujours sa compagne.** Mais je ne suis pas ici pour me réconcilier. Je suis ici pour découvrir la vérité. Quelqu'un m'a piégée. Quelqu'un d'assez proche pour falsifier des lettres, manipuler des témoins et s'en tirer à bon compte pendant que je mourais. Et cette personne est toujours là, empoisonnant mon compagnon, détruisant ma meute de l'intérieur. Il me reste 100 jours avant que ce corps emprunté ne me lâche. 100 jours pendant lesquels mes souvenirs disparaîtront un à un, notre premier baiser, le visage de ma sœur, et même mon propre nom. 100 jours pour dévoiler un complot, sauver l'Alpha qui m'a assassinée et décider si le lien qui nous unit mérite une seconde chance. **Le problème ?** La culpabilité de Kieran est aussi dangereuse que son amour. Et le monstre qui a orchestré ma mort ne me laissera pas survivre une seconde fois. On dit que l'amour vaut la peine de mourir, mais le mien exige que je vive.

There's an unspoken rule in the high-end society—married couples who are bound by marriage alliances are allowed to branch out romantically. But if they ever buy anything for their side piece, they must buy the same gift for their legal spouse. Raymond Johnson is a very particular person. That's why he continues sticking to the rule and gives Melanie Strickland the respect she deserves by showering her with gifts that are 100 times more than his mistress', even after the Stricklands have gone into bankruptcy. If his mistress gets 100 thousand dollars' worth of allowances every month, Melanie's bank account must receive ten million dollars in return. When Raymond gifts his mistress jewelry that's worth a million dollars, he'll go for the main highlight of the auction. After that, Melanie will receive an antique emerald ring worth 100 million dollars. The rich wives, who are too used to seeing wealthy men immersing themselves in booze and beautiful women, can only sigh wistfully whenever they witness Raymond and Melanie's lovey-dovey relationship. But at the same time, they can't resist dropping Melanie words of advice—mainly to tell her to appreciate what she has now. Appreciate, huh? Of course Melanie appreciates everything she has right now. That's why on the day Raymond gives a house of very little value that's located in the suburbs to his mistress, Melanie decides to ask him a question while receiving the land deed of Villa No. 1 that's located in Northshore. "I've grown tired of this marriage. Can we get a divorce?"
